SINGAPORE, 12 February 2014 – The speedy new ILCE-α6000 from Sony boasts the
quickest AF performance of any interchangeable lens digital camera, snapping
subjects into sharp focus in just 0.06 seconds. From spontaneous smiles to
towering tennis serves, you’ll capture those fleeting moments that other
cameras miss. And thanks to the 24.3 megapixel Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor and
BIONZ X processor, every frame is crammed with rich detail and texture.

Boosting
Sony’s mirrorless line-up,
the ILCE-α6000 comes in two iconic designs, black and
titanium, sure to inspire jealous glances from other photographers. For users
who have been thinking about taking advantage of size and weight advantages of
a mirror-less camera but don’t want to sacrifice super-quick autofocus, the ILCE-α6000 now renders that conversation moot.

Even
quicker than most professional DSLRs, the phenomenal autofocus speed of the ILCE-α6000 is powered
by Sony’s advanced Fast Hybrid AF system. A 179-point focal plane
phase-detection AF sensor is teamed with high-precision contrast-detection AF.
This potent combination delivers the world’s fastest1 AF performance
of any interchangeable lens camera, plus continuous shooting at a blazing 11fps
with highly accurate autofocus tracking. Nothing gets past the ILCE-α6000 – even fast-moving
subjects like athletes and acrobatic pets – and the Fast Hybrid AF system is
also available in movie mode.

There
are plenty more premium features packed into the camera’s compact, purposeful
body. Composing scenes is a pleasure through the new clear, bright OLED
Tru-Finder™ which consists of four double aspherical lenses. Preview the
effects of adjusting focus, exposure and other settings: what you see is
exactly what you get.

Intuitively-placed
mode and control dials on top of the camera allow effortless adjustment of
shooting settings while you’re focused on the scene in front of you. A total of
7 customisable buttons – including two dedicated custom buttons – give swift
access to any one of 43 assignable functions to satisfy any photo enthusiast.
And for extra flexibility in any situation, there’s a built-in flash to
brighten up portraits or gloomy indoor shots.

It’s
easy to share shots on your mobile: on-board Wi-Fi allows one-touch connection
with your Xperia™, NFC-compatible Android smartphones, tablets and VAIO. A
single touch also activates Smart Remote Control, linking the camera to fire
the shutter from a distance and view photos on your mobile.

Style-matching
optional accessories for the α6000 include the LCS-EBC just-fit Body Case
that protects the camera from dust and everyday scratches. It’s possible to
transfer data via connected USB, use the NFC function or mount the camera on a
tripod without having to remove the case.

The
LCS-BBXL Soft Carrying Case is great for protecting long lenses like the
SEL18200LE and SEL55210 while you’re out and about. The water-repellent case
also offers extra space to store a lens hood. Also available, the PCK-LM17 is a
semi-hard protective sheet that safeguards the camera’s LCD screen against
scratches, dust and fingerprints.

The
ILCE-α6000 interchangeable lens
digital camera from Sony will be available in Singapore at all Sony stores and selected
authorised dealers from the second quarter of 2014.
